We are definitely not in an AI bubble. When AI and sandwiches collide.

Not going to lie, they make amazing sandwiches though.

Opening keynote at @odsc.bsky.social with Harrison Chase (of LangChain) talking about deep agents. The LangChain/LangGraph ecosystem continues to grow with exciting announcements this morning.

Mutil-agents are about to explode... I love coding, but "no code" multi-agent systems are coming.

As a firm believer that AI/ML is going to be more impactful and disruptive than the internet and the smartphone (both from a technology and human standpoint), there are some things about AI that we should all understand so that we can do so responsibly and ethically. If you are in Southern California, I invite you to check out my session this Wednesday. Details below: Session: Guardians of AI: Equipping Humans to Detect and Prevent Adversarial Manipulation Date/Time: Oct 8 at 1:30 PM Room: Theater II More info: https://bit.ly/4po63yl Key themes I'll cover: - New threat vectors that appear when AI/ML are embedded in products and services. - Why AI is the next major paradigm shift (bigger than the internet or smartphone) and why we must protect private data as we adopt it. - Practical approaches for securing AI and using it responsibly across engineering, product, and compliance teams. Looking forward to seeing you all there! .

Two weeks after #AIDev Europe and the workshop recording is live! 🎥

🤖 We walked from problem → full build: data grooming, feature design, training, model fusion, and inference.

AIDev Europe: Sarcastically Speaking: Unlocking Multimodal Sentiment Analysis w/ NLP+Facial Landmark | David vonThenen
It's been two weeks since #AIDev Europe... time flew, and the conversations keep landing in my inbox. Good news: the session recording is now available. Watch it here: https://bit.ly/3VbnLqV Sarcasm breaks most sentiment models because text alone misses the cues people give with their faces and voice. I wanted a workshop that walks teams from problem to solution. Not just abstract theory, but the full build: data grooming, feature design, training, model fusion, and inference. If you care about real-world and challenging problems that must survive messy human behavior, this is the playbook I wish had existed when I started. All workshop materials ----- Recording: https://bit.ly/3VbnLqV Slides: https://bit.ly/3UXRELj Workshop exercises and code: https://bit.ly/3UXROCp Big thanks to everyone who turned up for the session. Your questions made the session far better than my slides and talked about very important details to consider. Let’s keep the discussion going. #AIDev #AIDevEurope #NLP #MultimodalAI #MachineLearning
